Delay analysis that connects the programme to the facts.
A credible delay opinion requires more than a software output.
Delay analysis should explain what controlled completion, how that position changed, which events affected the critical or near-critical work, and what the project records support.
The appropriate method depends on the contract, available programme data, quality of contemporaneous records, timing of the assessment and the question the analysis must answer. The method is selected and explained rather than applied mechanically.
Work can be undertaken during delivery to support decisions and mitigation, or retrospectively to test claims and prepare a clear account for negotiation, mediation, adjudication or arbitration.
